Özet:

People of the tribe of Kinde, whose mainland was Hadhramaut, came to power possessing important titles within the state after having adopted Islam from the beginning of the era of the first four caliphs. Among these was Eş’as b. Kays, the governor of Hadhramaut, who achieved to hold the utmost titles. Eş’as b. Kays’s political mobility increasingly improved after accepting Islam in Hz. Prophet’s era. It is well understood that, the tribe of Kinde of which he was a member, his role as a leader and his own political skills had an enormous impact on this mobility. First, Eş’as b. Kays rebelled against Caliph Ebubekir, then he declared his loyalty to the state again and joined the Early Isamic Conquests and he became the governor of Azerbaijan in the time of Caliph Osman. In this research, we evaluated the role and effect of Eş’as b. Kays, who was a member of a prominent tribe with an origin of Yemen, on the political events that occurred in the Islamic state whose foundations was built by Hz. Prophet by taking into consideration the background of the tribe as well.
